Embracing Language Diversity in Your Classroom (SchoolEducationGateway)

Movement within and into Europe as well as international school projects made our continent more language diverse. But dealing with multilingual classrooms isn’t self-evident. The new Teacher Academy course ‘Embracing Language Diversity in Your Classroom’ helps you to utilise the different language skills in the classroom, and provides you with practical tools and resources. The course also introduces innovative pedagogical approaches and sheds light on different European initiatives supporting language learning.

Free movement within Europe and migration into the continent have made its language situation increasingly diverse. Integrating students who don’t speak the main classroom language isn’t self-evident. And while teachers often already are language-aware, linguistic diversity isn’t always recognised as a valuable pedagogical resource.

The new Teacher Academy course ‘Embracing Language Diversity in Your Classroom’ helps teachers of all levels and subjects to embrace linguistic diversity and use talents present in the classroom. The course provides tools and resources that can easily be integrated in lessons, introduces innovative pedagogical approaches, and sheds light on different European initiatives that support your students’ language learning.

New Learning: Principles and Patterns of Pedagogy (Coursera)

Education is in a state of flux – transitioning from traditional architectures and practices to new ecologies of teaching and learning influenced by the tremendous social and technological changes of our times. What changes are afoot today in workplaces, civic life and everyday community life? What are their implications for education? What are the possible impacts of contemporary social transformations on teaching and learning - including in the areas of technology, media, globalization, diversity, changing forms of work in the “knowledge society”, and, in these contexts, changing learner needs and sensibilities? This course explores three pedagogical paradigms: “didactic”, “authentic” and “transformative” learning.
